Our Client’s Goal:
When our esteemed client initially approached Solvd, they had one paramount objective in mind – to reduce the time, effort, and costs involved in software testing by automating repetitive and time-consuming manual testing tasks. At the moment we met, they had already developed a test automation framework. They wanted to improve it through integration, test coverage, base tests (the validation of the documents and specifications on which test cases are designed) and testing modules.
